Some biomes missing that would be good to have I noticed are:
Wetlands - Everglades/Swamps/etc.
Kelp Forests - Forests of Kelp under the water making water exploration more interesting
Coral Reef - Large coral formations under the water also to make water exploration more interesting.
Floating Islands - Why did this go away, it sounded awesome.
Volcanoes - (While not truly a biome) Would be nice for some mountains to be volcanoes that can erupt randomly spewing ghast projectiles around the environment and also generating lots of lava springs spewing lava down the mountain.

I kinda like the volcano idea. Maybe as an option. Kelp and coral...not so much unless they have good ways of harvesting/planting/using them. (coral reefs grow for years...not sure how that would work in MC)

Wetlands - I think he's adding swamps, though?
Kelp forests - Good idea, but Notch probably has plans for Seaweed.
Coral Reef - Might look a little weird with the blocky shapes.
Floating Islands - They're not really useful, just fun to look at.
Volcano - That could be a little dangerous, especially with what you suggested. Maybe just a mountain with a crater filled with lava?

Did you not see Dante's peak. Volcanoes throw fiery rocks at you that explode when they hit the ground. Exactly what a ghast projectile is.
Kelp forests, and more so coral reefs, would be very nice to have.
Volcanoes would be good as a rare biome.
Floating islands don't really feel like biomes as much as terrain. But it would be nice to have specific code for floating islands, even if they'd still be rare. On that note, stuff like mountain ranges and faults would be nice terrain features, too. Craters, as well.
He definitely can't do it for this update, but I'm sure he can do it... Eventuallyyyyyyy!
These are really cool ideas im liking the coral reef one if we had away to stay underwater longer you could explore them.And everyone im pretty sure he knows that notch wont be able to make these before the update comes out so stop saying it.
I want volcanoes for the sake of obtaining lanterns. Assuming volcanoes are all source block. Also assumong that lanterns require that glowy block to be made. I assume to much...

I was once mining out some iron, and the lava

But I lost 120 pounds in 4 seconds thanks to Lava!

I agree these are cool ideas. however, they wouldn't really work as biomes, since the system he uses only deals with temp and humidity. Volcanoes and reefs would need to be completely seperate.
But I really think that volcanoes would lag/cause lag.
For one, all of the flying projectiles everywhere would be like a giant pit of TNT setting off at any second.
After that it would spread a super-gigantic mega-omgwtf forest fire that would drop the entire game to 0 FPS.
If volcanoes are really being implemented, I really hope that they have a rare (rare) chance of appearing, and an even more rare chance of erupting.

i would like to see a volcanoe near a forest biome
EPIC FOREST FIRE
lolno
I don't get lag when I have a forest fire, nor does the eruption need to be too much going on all at once. It can shoot out a few particles every so often so that explosions are spread out. We have seen at least 4 ghasts firing at player at once so obviously it can handle that.
I mentioned the idea of "Anamolous biomes" in another thread. Biomes that defy the humidity/temperature map because of outside sources, like a volcano, for example. There could be a lot of lava pools around and no grass because of the heat. And, it would be darker because of smoke.

Nature should really stop catering to all these furries! I mean, do we REALLY need two kinds of elephant? Puh-leaze.
Notch did mention volcanoes a few months back as can be seen in the facts thread. He said:
Like you see a volcano and the sky is dark or something, and you set up a base there and it suddenly goes off. That might be really fun.
and about open volcanoes and snow covered mountain tops
Definitely. It would have been in by now if it had worked. But that's going to be part of the megastructures thing. Caves are the only megastructures I have now.

I hope he does add them. Volcanos would be epic.

Read the 2nd quote.
but despite how laggy it'd be, I like the idea too.
and here's how I think it would work:
Every 1/100 (or 1000 if you're a bro) hills generated will turn the surrounding area into smooth/cobble, then flatten the top and spawn a lava pool at the top.
Then make TNT-like projectiles that fly out every-so-often spawning in the lava and poof. Volcano.

I don't think anyone was saying "in the B00 update". He's gonna be updating biomes for a bit though...me thinks

k...now wait
the reefs ALL grow for years to get where they are now
Trees...not so much (at least not all trees)
But I do see your point.
